"The chapters on edge detection, for example, only have historic value at this point"

Are there simpler, faster and better edge detection algorithms that are not using neural nets?

[vincenthwt]

If you're looking for simpler, faster, and reliable edge detection algorithms, traditional methods like Canny, Sobel, Prewitt, and Laplacian are excellent choices.

For real-time applications or resource-constrained systems, simpler methods like Roberts or Prewitt may be the best.

However, if you need more robustness against noise or better edge accuracy, Canny or Scharr are preferred.
